What is imperialism in the twenty-first century? What are the class forces within and between nations that are the predominant players in the new global system? Are there contradictions between a transnational capitalist class and national class formations? How important are international financial institutions, the debt system, and global production chains? Are there contradictions between class fractions, such as finance and manufacturing capital, different economic sectors including the fossil fuel industrial, and the military? How important are ideologies, such as white supremacy, “American exceptionalism”, and anti-communism as drivers of war and intervention? Are the corporate media and/or social media new forces in the imperial system?And, as we participate in the election process, what does this all mean for the work of peace activists today?For further information see:https://heartlandradical.blogspot.com/2020/07/conference-on-21st-century-imperialism.htmlPeace Action of WI
